NASCAR today named Jimmy Small as the Iowa
Speedway president, The
Des Moines Register reported. Small, 28, most recently worked in
NASCAR's team marketing services department, and has spent parts of the last
three months working at the speedway. Small told the Register that there are no
plans for a Sprint Cup race - which is NASCAR's top series - at Iowa Speedway
until at least after the 2015 season. Currently, the speedway hosts races in
lesser NASCAR series, including the "triple A" Nationwide Series and
the Camping World Truck Series. NASCAR announced late last month that it had
purchased Iowa Speedway from the family of Featherlite Trailers founder Conrad
Clement.
